Pinterest Challenge: Ribbon Wreath with Felt Flowers

With every season change {and sometimes more often}, I like to change the wreath on our front door. Most often, this comes in the form of a ribbon wreath.
Now, spring has been here for a little while but our very brown winter wreath was still hanging out on the front door. So, this weekend, I decided it was time to infuse a little color out there. Of course, I stopped over on Pinterest for a little inspiration.

Obviously, this wreath is about as uncomplicated as you can get but I love the bright colors mixed with the white felt flowers so I wanted to share.

I started with a wreath form and wrapped it in the green satin ribbon. Note to self: always buy an extra spool of ribbon! I actually started this a few weeks ago but ran out of ribbon so it just sat on my table waiting for completion.

Once the wreath was wrapped, I made my felt flowers. These are super easy and allow you to get more than one flower out of each piece of felt.
A quick tutorial:
Cut the felt into strips. I don’t measure mine but just try to make the line straight as I got across.

Fold each strip in half and hot glue closed. For a bigger flower, I just hot glue two strips together before I fold.

On the folded side, cut the felt part of the way through. DO NOT cut all the way through the glue portion.

Roll in a circle securing with glue as you go along.

Attach to your project and donezo!
